I was on my way back from work, and I'm kind of driving fast, switching lanes quite a bit, and I saw a red light. As I was proceeding to stop my car just shut of? I was still rolling around 30 mph light turns back on and i hit the clutch and starts right up?

What is that mean exactly? Is this common what so over?

Also when I leave my car idling as far as I'm concerned its supposed to idel at 1- 1 1/2 rpm it idels at like 1/2 very weird.

If you guys know anything let me know.

Thanks!

A: Sounds like you're the poster boy for reckless driving.

B: Your idle speed is way too low. 1/2 rpm is hardly turning at all. I think most idle around 500 to 650 rpm.

Do you have a JWT Popcharger? They have been known to make the motor die after hard driving. Also, what engine revolution speed is 1/2 rpm for idle?

Problem; you're a bad driver and you don't understand how cars work.

Solution; buy a bicycle and ride the bus to work.

You might have a clogged up air filter. You might have an after market mod to the intake causing the air/fuel ratio to be off. If you take it to Nissan, they can hook up their computer to the Z & relearn the air fuel ratio.

The dealership I go to did it when I installed an intake plenum & K&N air filter. It didn't shut off, but it tried to die often until they updated the car.

Coherence is a lost art.....as is spelling apparently
idel = idle
light turns back on = changes to green???
my car shut off? - well did it or didn't it? Why the ? mark?
Anyway, 500 is a pretty low idle - mine is always around 700 with intake/exhaust mods. Never had it shut down on me, although have heard of that with the JWT as mentioned.

Your car doesn't like being driven by irresponsible *******s... obviously.

Buy a civic OP.

1: Love the responses
2: OP, follow what these people say
3: Check your intake system for issues / camshaft / crankshaft position sensors ( if you are getting codes)
4: Get a civic

Wait, you mean that your engine wasn't performing 1/2 of a Revolution Per Minute?

My car used to shut off all the time when idling or driving, then it would take a while to start back up again. It threw a code though, come to find out my camshaft sensor bank 2 went bad. Had to replace it. Couple months later, same thing happened again, it was the other camshaft sensor. So if you're throwing a code, check it out

Your car is equipped with start-stop system to save fuel. Working as intended.
